A teenage girl who drunkenly caused £800 worth of damage to a taxi office during a 1am mob rampage has been told to pay only £200 compensation after a judge said she could not afford to pay more due to the UK's cost of living crisis.
Summer Downie, then 17, who had been drinking vodka and taking drugs, hurled four bricks through the victims' windows after going berserk with ten friends when one left his mobile phone inside a private hire cab.
During the incident the taxi controller at Goodwins Olympics in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester, was assaulted and had to take refuge in an upstairs room as his front windows were put through.
